Have to say that I'm surprised that there is way less criticism of the stupid idea itself than there is people making GBS threads on Mike Pence. I mean, I know folks are pretty partisan around these parts but , what the gently caress, wouldn't Pence or any Republican be better than the Actual Worst President Ever at this point?

Like I don't know what's dumber, thinking Pence would be any better or thinking a viable plan for getting Trump impeached is having a bunch of posters on these dead gay forums to run psy ops by saying "I love Trump BUT Pence would be even better". Yeah, the House GOP is definitely gonna be bamboozled by the clever posting of a few plucky C-SPAMMers. After all, we all know /pol/ is the reason Trump got elected.

Maybe. Probably.

And yet

Trump is a giant pissbaby who hangs up on the Aussie pm and brags about inauguration crowds to the CIA and complains about millions of nonexistent illegal votes to congressional leadership. Pence on the other hand is not retarded. So I say pick your poison.

trump can do more damage because he doesn't give a single poo poo about the consequences of his actions even if they're not something anyone with half a brain for politics would do as of now i'd put money on him completing his four years because congress doesn't really care either. so i'd much rather go with pence because i don't want to die in a nuclear explosion

Someone who doesn't give a poo poo about the consequences is probably better than someone who does care about those consequences, like deliberately making gays suffer in reeducation camps for their own personal delight. Incompetent evil is better than deliberate, organized evil.

you say that like this isn't gonna happen under trump as well. trump will enable and implement all the worst impulses of the GOP even if he doesn't 100% believe in it, because it will keep him around longer

Trump is bad, but nothing he's done is actually that far from what Republicans have been doing, and have promised to do, for a while now. It's really nothing to do with Trump as a person, it's this entire ecosystem of prejudice that had sprung up, I'm not sure impeaching him (which isn't happening, ever) actually changes anything.

That, and there's just no incentive for anyone to actually play along work this stupid scheme of yours, more probably it'll just backfire.

Like, sorry if you're attached to it, but your idea is dumb dude.

The main complaint here seems to be he's a less competent or effective steward of the American empire because he openly says the things that a more judicious individual like Obama or even George W. wouldn't say.

The idea may be stupid but something has to be done. Nobody gives a gently caress a bout an ' ecosystem of prejudice' or any other dumbass lefty buzzword. We already know you don't like Republicans. The fact is we've put an actual madman in the oval office and we need to be smart and put differences to the side for now and undo that mistake.

If Trump is impeached, then it goes to Pence, and then Orrin Hatch and then Rex Tillerson. Mnuchin would be next if confirmed and elligible. After, Mattis.

Yeah, only 1 U.S. president has ever been removed from office in 230 years, but probably it's gonna happen again in the next few years because you wish it would. Surely the fact that the president's political party controls congress won't possibly get in the way of this.
